Relaxed, Alert, Ready
Condition Yellow: Relaxed alert. No specific threatening situation. Your mindset is that “today could be the day I may have to defend myself”.
- You are simply aware that the world is a potentially unfriendly place and that you are prepared to defend yourself, if necessary.
- You don’t have to be armed in this state, but if you are armed you should be in “Condition Yellow”.
- You should always be in Yellow whenever you are in unfamiliar surroundings or among people you don’t know.
- In Yellow, you are “taking in” surrounding information in a relaxed but alert manner, like a continuous 360-degree radar sweep.
